My MacBook Pro is also the same age as your, but it was a mid range model with a dedicated graphic card, it still work pretty well running Photoshop and Lightroom but can be further improved by installing an SSD to get a few more year out of it, annoyingly the RAM maxed at 8GB.
I'd go for the high end model if you can afford it, you can able to get 7 years out of it easily.

I thought about it but I really need to be mobile, party for making presentations etc. The desktops are better value and beautiful but routed to a desk enough at work.
